This is a great view taken from the
top of a mountain, showing the whole bay. The little black dots
you can just make out are boats at anchor and you can just see some of
the buildings to the middle right in the small village of Turtle Bay |
| This is the view you can see if the
above photo extended out to the left. This beach is really
beautiful, although the surf is a bit tricky to navigate and land the
dinghy! We were saturated by the time we got back to the boat
after taking a big wave over the bow, but it was well worth it!
This picture was taken from the same mountain as above, just looking a
different way... |

From the same mountain again but the
opposite view to the bay, showing the desert landscape. The
mountain in the top of the picture is about 30 miles away so you can see
how good the visibility was that day! |
| A close-up of the mountain in the
distance and the desert road which would lead to Morro Santo Domingo and
the bay there, which is another whale refuge. |

These cheeky Pelicans made this
Panga their favourite sitting spot and you could take your dinghy right
up to them without disturbing their sunbathing! |
| As we sailed into the Bay we spotted
these colourful funeral houses away from the main town and decided to
investigate. We couldn't help but notice that the dead were living
better than some of the residents in the main town.... |

A close-up of one of the funeral
homes shows how neat and tidy this area is kept, although you can not
see that they throw the garbage just over the fence where I'm standing
on the above photo. |
| This photo is taken of the inside of
the funeral house and shows all the toys and belongings of this child
who had an early death. |
